About The Book

Forbidden Choices: Book three in The Forbidden Series, by Helge Thorsen
A devastating secret. A boy with Tom's eyes. And a choice no parent should ever face.
When a hospital DNA test uncovers a long‑buried mistake, Tom Andersen's entire world collapses. The son he has raised is not biologically his. And somewhere out there—lost in the foster care system—is a six‑year‑old boy who is.
Determined to make things right, Tom enters a fragile, high‑stakes battle for the child he never knew. But love is never simple—and soon Tom, his wife Rosalyn, the foster parents, and their extended families are pulled into an emotional storm where every choice feels like betrayal.
As two boys' futures hang in the balance, each family must face an impossible question:
How many pieces can a heart be broken into…
and still remain whole?
Forbidden Choices is a gripping, emotional, character‑driven drama about love, identity, and the families we create—and fight for. Perfect for readers of Jodi Picoult, Kristin Hannah, and Celeste Ng.
